Summary

Earle Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Chicago, Illinois, with 262 students enrolled. However, the school consistently underperforms compared to its district and state peers, particularly in academic achievement, chronic absenteeism, and student group outcomes.

Earle Elementary School's academic performance is significantly below the Chicago Public Schools District 299 and Illinois state averages on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 23.3% of Earle students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In math, only 8% of Earle students were proficient or better, compared to 27.3% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 40.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Earle Elementary School struggles to serve its student subgroups effectively, ranking in the bottom 30% of Illinois elementary schools for both female and male students, and in the bottom 25% for African American students and low socioeconomic status students.

Interestingly, Earle Elementary School performs significantly worse than the nearby Henderson Elementary School, Morrill Elementary Math & Sci School, Providence-Englewood Elementary Charter, Fairfield Elementary Academy, Davis M Magnet Elementary School, CICS - Basil Campus, Langford A Elementary School, Carson Elementary School, Claremont Academy Elementary School, and OToole Elementary School, which generally have higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better rankings compared to Earle. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not seem to be effectively utilized to support student learning.
